| We are delivering at Shady Grove and I would like to find a doula that is good with natural births. Any recommendations? |

| I don't know if Claudia Booker will go up to Shady Grove, but I know she goes to the limit for her clients. I just gave birth with her on Sunday, and she was amazing. She has extensive experience, which is why I chose her over other doulas (recently trained, but trying to charge less to be competitive). I had a full 16 hours of intense, short and frequent contractions, and Claudia performed some massages and tricks that were amazing! Go to DC Birthing Hands (www.birthinghandsdc.com) for more info on Claudia. |

| Heather Wilson is terrific (www.heatherwilsondoula.com). I didn't give birth at Shady Grove, so can't tell you if she works there (sorry!). Heather is very knowledgeable and has a wonderfully reassuring, calm manner. She constantly anticipated my needs - my husband was very impressed by this - and was tremendously comforting. I couldn't have been more pleased with my birth and know I wouldn't have been able to achieve my goal of unmedicated birth without Heather's help. |
